pakistani and drone strikes that killed a taliban leader. hope for peace in the congo. will it last? thousands of racers cross the finish line in the new york city marathon. secretary of state john kerry is in the middle east for a nine-day tour.

his trip began with a surprise visit to egypt where he urged that country this morning to move towards democracy. he stressed american egyptian ties are critical. >> the u.s.-egypt relationship should not be defined by assistance. there are much bigger issues that matter to us, that concern us, that define the relationship. >> kerry's visit marks the first by an american official since the ousting of mohammed morsi in july. rosalyn moore has more from washington? >> the first stop john kerry made on his latest trip to the middle east was to cairo, egypt, the first and highest-ranking visit by a u.s. official to the egyptian capital city since july 3rdrd. >> that's the day that the military removed mohammed morsi and placed him under arrest. the u.s. has been anxious about what has been happening in egypt

ever since. it was john kerry's mission to deliver a message from the obama administration about what washington expects cairo to do in the weeks and months ahead. >> ross lin, how can the u.s. reconcile working with this government while supporting move toward democracy? >> basically let's put it this way. the trip was unannounced. in diplomatic terms, that is denying egypt the ability to say, look. the united states is in support of what we have been doing here politically in the past five months. so, by having this unannounced trip, the u.s. was able to send a message that it does disprove of what has happened. that said, the u.s. also is making it very plain, and we heard this from secretary kerry on sunday, that the u.s. looks to egypt as a security partner across the middle east. it had a long-standing military relationship. he job description soldiers train here in the united states

and attend high-ranking think tanks to get more professional education. the u.s. looks to egypt to help maintain security, particularly between the border with israel, with whom egypt has a peace treaty and the u.s. also looks to egypt to try to make certain that insurgent groups don't find a toehold particularly in the sinai peninsula. but this is really a case of the u.s. trying to be practicigmati right now because egypt, for many, many decades as had an out-sized amount of influence in regional politics. the u.s. sees that in its long-term interests, it's best to still be an ally of egypt rather than have some sort of political and diplomatic rupture. >> kerry making a visit to saudi arabia. how significant is that visit? >> reporter: well, when you consider that up until really in the past three months or so, the relationship between riyadh and washington was unquestionably a strong one, this is an important

visit for kerry to make. the saudis have been very concerned that the obama administration simply hasn't done enough to try to bring the civil war in syria to an end, and they have made their pleasure known. one, by not takingun of the non-permanent seat did on the u.n. security council. and, two, by deciding to not take part in certain diplomatic and military operations with the u.s. where these things would normally happen otherwise. so this is a chance for saudis to express concerns to kerry, not just about syria but also about iran. the saudis are very concerned about the iranians trying to assume a greater role in regional politics, and it doesn't want to be pushed out. so kerry has to go with listening to these concerns, trying to placate the saudis as best he can. in syria, government forces tried to quell much government controlled areas. assad's regime has tried to

secure that area from months. video shows thick smoke. al jazeera cannot verify these videos. more than 100,000 people have been killed since that war began two and a half years ago. meanwhile, another area of syria, a giant bronze statue of jesus has managed to end the violence, albeit briefly. government forces and reynolds stopped fighting for three days so the 40 foot statute could be erected. a london based foundation has been trying to install that statue for eight years. the mountain over looks a pilgrimage route to the jerusalem. private donors paid for the statue. >> pakistan's government says it's reviewing the relationships after a drone strike killed a taliban leader. the local political party wants to block american supply routes into afghanistan. the taliban now wants revenge noor mohammed said he shouldn't

have come to work today, but he said he can't afford to stay home. he tells us he fears reprisal attacks by the pakistani taliban after the u.s. killed its leader, hak. mil massud in an unmanned drone strike. >> people have stopped coming to market. we are so afraid that the taliban will attack us. i don't know what to do. >> mohammed's fears are based upon personal experience. the historic story teller's market has been attacked several times by the taliban. just last month, his uncle was killed in a bombing. all across pakistan, security is on high alert after the pakistani taliban threatened to avenge massud's death saying every drop of its former leader's blood will be turned into a suicide bomber. besides fear, there is anger. in a media briefing on saturday, theyt in the u.s. was blamed for

destroying the peace process. >> the efforts have been ambushed. it was not -- it was not a fire from the friend. it was an ambush. and we see it was an ambush. >> but other political parties want more than angry words with washington. if the party controlling the putun province is demanding nato supply routes to afghanistan be closed. >> i will raise the issue on monday in the national assembly. the nato supply lines should be dropped until drone attacks stop. we will not allow nato supply lines to continue until they stop the drone attacks. >> reporter: >> reporter: during his time as leader, he was responsible for

carrying out several major attacks claiming thousands of lives. but he was also open to peace talks with the government, and now that is under threat as the pakistani taliban threatens to avenge his death. tyab, islamabad. >> one lawmaker defended the drone attack. the chair of the house's permanent committee says the attack will protect american troops. >> this is the guy trying to create the problems both for pakistan. he relates with afghanistan taliban. these are the folks that closed 500 schools, most of them girls' schools in the eastern provinces of afghanistan. he is part of the hakani network, which is basically a giant organized crime group operating in the tribal areas of pakistan who have been involved in supporting al-qaeda, taliban, and others. this was a bad guy. and by the way, there are some -- there is some

information recently that concerned us about the safety of our troops. i feel a little better for our troops today than i did before this ent happened. >> rogers also said massud haul ties for a fail bombing of new york square in 2010. in northern yemen, 58 people have died in clark. the fighting between shiia and sunni muslim groups began and it's an area long outside authorities' control. they have been trying to broker a cease fire. >> the political leadership of the m 23 rebels in the democr democratic have declared a cease fire. a little background on the group. the revolution began in may of last year after several mutinies in provinces along the rawandan border. under a piece deal and that's how the group got its name, m

23. the rebellion gained traction. if those rebels retreat, troops are now finding mass graves. malcolm webb reports the fighting is not over >> reporter: the government troops have been fighting with the m23 rebels on three hills close to congo's border with rawanda over there. you can hear the sound of some of the fighting. if i hold up this microphone, you can maybe hear the sound of some of the rockets and the bombs that are landing. this hill that you can see there is called ambuzi, one of the three hills where the rebels still are. we have heard there are about 300 of them left. they are at an advantage on the top of the hill. they have more men, tanks, helicopters. fighting uphill in this terrain is difficult. a short while ago, the m23 rebels' political wing put out a communique saying that the military wing should cease fire, that they should stop fighting. there is no sign that the military wing is in agreement

with that because they are still up here in these hills continuing with the battle. meanwhile, over the last 10 days, government troops have taken over positions in this area that were held by the m23 rebels, they found a few nasty surprises in their arsenal, very close to here, a number of dead bodies were found that looked like they were people who were executed. this patch of bush next to a former m23 rebel base looks lie any other in eastern congo, but something more sinister lies within. the soldier leads us to the body of a man lying in a shallow grave. he clearly died very recently but the smell is already very unpleasant, and it looks like he was tied up with his arms behind his back and his legs tied together at the moment he died and there is some blood coming from his head. so, it really looks like he was executed nearby p soldiers in villages

say three are there were four bodies here before heavy rain buried them in mud and there were many more throughout the surrounding bush. it's next to a barracks that the rebels took from the government. a few days ago, the rebels fled. some who will surrendered said they executed it's prisoners before it left. we tried to contact m23, but they haven't answered phone calls since government forces fought them back in the last 10 days. the people in the villages say living under m23 rule was tough and the rebels were often cruel. >> they had prisoners there. we heard they killed the prisoners. they killed them all. >> they would beat people for nothing and they would arrest people and make them disappear. >> the world's largest u.n. peacekeeping 40ss here in congo have been helping the government fight m23. the u.n. hasn't managed to stop

atrocities in the 14 years it's been here but they say they will find out what happened. >> translator: we all know that bodies have been found in that area. the area has been controlled by m23 for about one year and that it has been taken by the army a few did i see ago. on the u.n. side, we are quickly following a team which is going to investigate. and from the results, we are going to tell you what was discovered >> reporter: the government says it's investigating, too. but war crimes can common in congo's conflicts. the full story may never be uncovered malcolm webb, in the democratic republic bling of congo. murder charges have been filed against the man opening fire in los angeles airport. new details are emerging about the shooting that killed a tsa agent and wounded several others the suspect is unresponsive and unable to talk, according to the f.b.i. he was

prepares for the trial of former president mohammed morsi. the style may be american, but the message is pure cuban

welcome back to al jazeera america. here is a look at your top stories. m23 rebels in the democratic republic with congo declared a seats fire. it raises hopes peace talk between the two sides will advance. authorities have filed murder charges against paul samsia for the shooting on friday. the airport has opened all flights. come okay out of a meeting between secretary of state john kerry, an initiative on the crisis on the conference. the plan will be presented to the arab foreign ministers later today. kerryts visit to egypt comes

one day before mohammed morsi is due to go on trial. he is accused of inciting the murder of protesters in december of 2012. dominic cain has more on that trial >> reporter: it was a moment that seemed to suggest egypt's transition from dictatorship to democracy. the inauguration of a first freely elected president, both in a traditional government setting and then more emotionally in tahrir square, the recruicrucible. he is in detension, facing charges of insighting others to commit murder. on monday morning, he is due to be brought to a courtroom in the cairo police academy for his trial to begin. it is the court in which hosni mubarak is being tried. the prosecution case against morsi relates to violence between his supporters and opponents last december outside

the presidential palace. according to human rights groups, protesters staging a sit-in against the president's sweeping new powers were attacked by pro-morsi supporters. several people were killed and many more injured. morsi, himself, has indicated he doesn't recognize the court's right to prosecution him and that he will not appoint a legal team. one lawyer who will be in court to observe morsi has told al jazeera the charges are baseless. >> there is no evidence that dr. morsi has committed any crime. trials of a political nature in the atmosphere after coup usually -- i hope i am wrong -- they are never knew tral, transparent or fair >> reporter: security around the torah prison and court house has been stead up in recent days. a control room will monitor the area. 20 members of the security forces will be on the streets

with metal detectors to prevent protesters disrupting the trial. the anti-coup alliance has called on supporters to stage mass demonstrations in protests. on the streets of the capitol, opinion is divided before the trial. transtrans i believe it's a good thing because morsi was as bad in one year as what happened in the past 30 years. he should be tried. he did not fulfill his promises and during his time, there was no security. >> i believe this trial may lead to another wave of wretch lucien and people will start taking to the streets again. >> mohammed morsi's family has been able to speak to him only once since he was detained. they will not be in court on monday since, like him, they reject the court's right to try him. dominic cain, al jazeera, cairo. all right. to discuss all of this, we are joined by ashaf hagazi, a senior

associate at the harvard international negotiation program. thank you for being with us today. >> thank you, jonathan. >> so kerry had some interesting comments in egypt. he said one thing that it appears egypt is moving toward democracy. do you degree with him? >> the road map put in place by thetritional government does lead to a democratically elected new government that's expected to happen over the next several months. so, as we move along the roadmap, we are headed toward democracies, at least electoral democracy. what happens in terms of who is doing the governance in the country and making policy decisions, i think for now, we don't know how that will develop. >> how can you say the country is moving toward democracy when we have scene hundreds much protest orders killed, basic rights that a lot of americans take for granted like freedom of

the press are not allowed in egypt? >> and that's been a cause for a lot of concern. i think both in the u.s. and on the streets in egypt. but the popular sentiment in egypt is very much pro-military right now. people feel still that the muslim brotherhood and their supporters have hijacked the revolution, the 2011 revolution and were exclusionary in their governance and resorted to violence. so people have been supportive of the crackdown. most are waiting for the military crack down. the interim gom are caught between a rock and a hard place because even if they wanted to institute more open democracy, they are being pressured to crack down harder and harder on demonstrate. the egyptians may be favor but is it appropriate for the united

states to be outwardly supporting the military? >> i think the united states has very few options right now. they don't have much leverage with the ruling government. they don't have much with the military. the u.s. military aid has been put on hold. i think the has suffered between military leaders there and military and political leaders in the united states. so the u.s. has to interact with the -- whichever government is in pour in egypt. right now, that's the military government. i think bind closed doors', they are trying to pressure the government to continue along this roadmap and actually establish a democratically elected government over the next six months. but publically, there is little they can do to influence aid on the ground. >> we have talked about the aid that the united states sends to egypt.

the united states has held fighter jet shrimps. secretary said the military aid being held back is not a punishment. do you agree with that? >> figure out what muddies the waters and i think the obama administration recognizes now that with holding the aid may not have been the best policy decision. it really doesn't affect -- it doesn't pressure the government there very much because they are getting a lot of financial sport from the arab countries in the gulf long-term, this removes one of the key leverage points the u.s. has. so since secretary kerry is using the language of diploacy to commend the relationship a little bit with the military rulers there, in egypt, but ultimately, i think it's a failure of policy to do

something like with holding the aid which is clearly meant as a reaction to the ouster of morsi and say this is not punt. what's the purpose of with holding that? all of those questions are left hanging after his comment today. >> it is complicated ground and, in fact, morsi's trowel begins tomorrow. thank you for your time today. >> my pleasure. thank you for having me. >> more allegations against the nsa. this time, it involves spying on u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon. the new york sometimes says the intell sequence agency intercepted talking points from moon prior to his april visit with president obama. the disclosure was considered a operational highlight in a weekly top secret report. the white house has not commented on that article. there are reports the administration ordered an end to the surveillance of the organization. >> until cuba, new generation is asking for change in the

island's 50-year-old system. as al jazeera's teresa bell reports, they are making their voices heard in aniquely american style. ♪ >> he likes to rap about his life, his family and cuba. his artistic name is river himan which means the potion man. he says here, his music is perceived as a threat. tra tra i think hip-hop is not convenient for the government because our society has had the same system for the last 50 years, our songs can open the hearts and the minds of people we represent what people here are silent about. you. >> in the land of chachacha, pop culture arrived in the '80s to the miami stations in miami.

it was in the 1990s the government authorized the first rap festival. >> this is where it was born, a housing project in havana. even though rap is not the most popular. music in cuba, young people tell us that they turn to it to express the frustrations of their daily lives. >> al graphic designer that sings for change. he is a government employee, an example that will authorities are more open to criticism when it comes with music. >> hip hom is a culture of protest that is difficult to develop here for obvious reasons. en though there is a government agency and we get a little help from them. i have to do everything myself. the big problem we face is the lack of information. there is almost no internet, for example, and that is a big problem for young people. >> in spite of the criticism in the lyrics, rap is hardly a

threat to the government. mainly because it lacks promotion. if he is trying to go change that. in cuba, everything is difficult. there are obstacles all the time. we built thistu studio with a l of effort. i am working so rappers can get more promotion and rap can be heard all around the island. >> piece? what people would like to see so young people here can use ram to get their message out. havan a. in india, celebrations for devali real underway during the festival of lights. they set off fire crackers. this year, foreign goods are making the festival a little less authentic. jamil tells us why. [ music ] >> prayers are an important tradition during devali, the

festival of lights. but apart from prayers, this is somewhat less traditional. lights made in china have flooded the market. indian managers can't compete. >> these jean ease ones are brighter and cheaper. they only make one or two pieces in a day. in china, protection is much higher. a local business association says at least a third of consumers are buying chinese made decorations for deval. some have adapted by embracing chinese i am ports. the chinese products here, they feel that that is much more profit al-than manufacturing. >> although it's the country's biggest festival, good prices or better quality are more imports than a maid in india label. it's not just decorations that are losing some of the local flavor this devali. sweets made of butter and milk given out during this time are also being replaced by foreign

flavors. cup cakes, cookies and chocolates made from european and american recipes have become more popular each year thanks to a growing middle class with a taste for international treats. but people maintain some old traditions. markets like this one selling hand-made decorations are busy because for some people, if it's not indian, it's not devali? >> if you are getting something made right in front of you, right here, i want to buy -- why would you want to buy something that's from china? >> devali celebrates the victory of good over evil while for some, foreign made products may take away from tradition. for others, it's still the festival of lights no matter how it's lit or how it sounds. fez jamil, al jazeera, new delhi. >> sports is next. can the kansas city chiefs stay
